I'd buy an island and make a nation out of it. I would live there with the family and my army of 1000 topless female slave-warriors. The island would have a private airstrip and a private jet, piloted by a topless female slave-warrior, that would whisk us around the globe. People would become jealous of my topless female slave-warriors because Grub Island would be the only place on the planet with them.
I would have a lottery with $1,000,000 ticket prices. The prize would be one week on my island with 10 topless female slave-warriors to be at the winner's beck and call. After the winner departed Grub Island, the other topless female slave-warriors would destroy the lottery winner's 10 because they would then be soiled and not worthy of me.
I run whatever I want (desktop Mac and OpenBSD servers I still maintain). I was referring to the general user base. Their machines are locked down tight.
Non-technical bureaucrats make these decisions. The types of losers who are too afraid/incompetent to make decisions so they choose to rule by committee.
I've noticed a great influx of "professional managers" who know zip about actual IT, so they hire consultants rather than listening to their own people.
Anyone who encrypts mail to me does it from their own machines. This is for Facebook mail to you. If a user grabs your keys they can also send you mail directly without going through Facebook.
Facebook lets you control your public keys as if it were any other information: public, friends only, etc.
Just added my keys. Not that I care about the notifications that "Billy scored X on Y Game", but anything that obfuscates and encrypts data on the wire is a good thing. It's not just the NSA, how many of you use gmail? This will keep them from scanning your mail.
>In fact I may enable a bunch more useless notifications and set up a rule to delete them at my end as they arrive.
Facebook: Actual friends and interests you have.
LinkedIn: Keep it strictly business.
Twitter: To follow the odd interest.
Google+: So you can say "I'm on Google+!"
I hate it when you see someone posting the same tripe across all their social networks. No one on LinkedIn cares what you ate for lunch.

Slashdot without comments would die. Reading at -1 is always good for lulz and the main reason to come back.
Are the school administrators a bunch of dickheads?
Actually yes.
only about 20 million years old
Neat to think that the dinosaurs were already gone for 45 million years when this planet came to be.

At work I currently have 1951 blackholed domains with the blacklist zone pointing everything back to 127.0.0.1 on our DNS.
Same idea as a hosts file, but corporate manages the desktops and IE rules the roost. We can no longer install FF and AdBlock.
Thanks for the tip of uMatrix, folks. Trying it out now to see how it works compared to NoScript, AdBlock+, et al.
They have an interesting take on it.
The Globe and Mail's angle is quite a bit different: How Uber is ending the dirty dealings behind Toronto's cab business
"Windows 10 will launch in less than a week"
If it won't launch in less than a day, I would say scrap the whole idea.
The Feds always look for the most expensive option. They'll end up with pricey battery powered hardware tokens when they could look at cheap Yubikeys.
I'm going to beat the rush and bring my Roomba to the passport office tomorrow morning.
Yeah, and also meant my public key.
Derp.

Them having my private key is not a problem. This encrypts email one would normally get. I don't work for Facebook.
What is the problem you are eluding to?
If they have only your public keys, what is the harm in them running a keyserver?
I don't use the gmail web client. I have the a GPG plugin (GPGMail) on my laptop's email and a GPG client (oPenGP) on my iPhone.
There are GPG plugins for the web client but I have not used them.
b) It's worth encrypting everything. This protects your data not only from the spooks, but from gmail/live/your ISP/whatever free client you may use.

I'm surprised he didn't include a "BSD IS DYING, NETCRAFT CONFIRMS IT" in the article.
I hope they enforce all vaccinations for entry, other than those with legitimate medical exemptions.
We're all rocking out on MySpace.
I'm with you. I've seen it on LinkedIn when people boast about the amazing lunch at the amazing convention/tradeshow full of amazing people.
Facebook: Actual friends and interests you have.
